If you have been on social media today, then you have seen the Starbucks' Unicorn Frappuccino. This looks like an amazing drink, and now everyone wants to know what is in it and what it tastes like. This drink is full of sugar and sour stuff. The details are coming out about this drink.

So what is this pink and blue sparkly drink?

As of right now, the Unicorn Frappuccino is a limited time drink at Starbucks. It changes colors from pink to purple when you stir the blue into the drink. Starbucks describes the drink as "made with a sweet dusting of pink powder blended into a crème Frappuccino with mango syrup, and layered with a pleasantly sour blue powder topping." This is similar to the Cotton Candy Frappuccino that is made with raspberry syrup, but with different flavoring and this wild topping.

People that are trying this drink are sharing various reviews, but the one thing most seem to agree on is that it is sour. It sounds like it is really sour and sweet at the same time. The flavor actually changes a bit as the drink mixes up as you drink it. Starbucks calls the #Pink And Blue dust on top "fairy powders."
